Lin
Hey, could you tell me the Wi-Fi password, by any chance?
Them
Sure—it's Rainy Day underscore eighty-eight, with capitals on R and D.
Lin
Thanks—I typed it twice, but it keeps kicking me off.
Them
Ah, did you add the underscore? It sneaks in right before eighty-eight.
Lin
There it is. Wow, this password is really making me work for it.
Them
Yeah, it's a bit dramatic; we joke it has trust issues.
Lin
Okay, I'm in—though Rainy Day still feels weirdly moody today.
Them
Totally. The leak got fixed, but the password's still processing its feelings.
